There are quite a few out there and I think (?) this is the one that the trailer got hit in the rear by a car. They all the pics up in their posting and I was surprised at how little damage there was from the car to the trailer, there was not a pic of the car.

All the ones I have seen the legs have buckled. It's not a design I think is strong enough to handle the lateral forces that apply, especially those that result from a forward moving and suddenly slowing or braking occurrence. That is where the max weight transfer takes place and that is where it seems to fail often.

I believe it was built for light weight not high strength.
